Wayne/Moderators

There's a fair bit of ad spamming happening on the regional forums (certainly the Australia/New Zealand one) - totally not porsche/car related, and not even from Australia/NZ. I think a couple even had Nigerian email addresses! They seem to pop up every couple of days.

I'm throwing out an offer of an Australian based moderator if you'd like? God knows I'm surfing the forums too often No offence to Chris Streit, but he's probably sleeping when we're all awake. There'd also be a few other Aussies that I'm sure would put their hands up... we all play very nicely in our backyard

Cheers

John,

Face it in your job we know who is paying the bills for you to surf the web. Must agree I sent an email earlier to chris to advise him of the spamming.

I dont trust John, I mean the spammers start and he just "pops" up to save the day. And his 2800+ posts, how do you think he got those, you really think they are all from offering quality technical advice? Im skeptical, have you seen his 911? Its way too nice, probably not real. Try tracing his IP, 10 bucks says its Nigerian based.

Im not pointing fingers...just putting the facts on the table.

I agree, John would make an excellent moderator on our home board - and he's a good bloke to boot.

I confess I'm not as dligent in checking the daily news down under. I've moved the ones that were sent to me and PM'd Wayne on the offending userid's but certainly wouldn't mind the help.

The spammers have been thick as theives this week.

...I've got a young child though, I'm up when EVERYONE is up.

I think most of us down under appreciate John being on on the board, making him a moderator of us antipodeans is a great idea.
